Wing Chair Slip Cover for Pet Owners

A wing chair can be a fine addition to your home decor. In addition to the human members of the family, your pet dog or cat might like the wing chair a great deal. In fact, the wing chair in my home has been a cat favorite for years.  Unfortunately, cat messes including hair and hairballs have been a regular feature as well.  For this reason among others, a wing chair slip cover may be a wise purchase for pet owners. A wing chair slip cover can help prevent a pet from ruining your beloved chair.

While pets can bring great joy and fun to the home, they do tend to have some less than desirable habits, especially where home furnishings are concerned.  While training can go a long way toward modifying a pet’s behavior, many times it is easier and safer to simply protect the things that could be damaged by a pet unknowingly letting its bad habits become a liability to the furniture and home.  Pets can’t always help where they are when they happen to get sick.  They don’t naturally run to the bathroom when they feel they are about to have a hairball incident.

For pets that play outside from time to time, there is the added problem of dirty paws.  They may not clean their paws immediately upon re-entering the home and jumping on their favorite wing chair.  With the wing chair slip cover this is not a problem as it is fully washable.  Not only can you clean up the chair easily with the next load of laundry, there is no chance of ruining the actual piece of furniture in the event the stain is particularly tough to remove.  Of course you will need to tend to the slip cover right away to avoid permanent staining as well.

Yet another issue with pets is claws.  Cats especially like to sharpen their claws.  One solution is to make sure they have a scratching post readily available.  A safe precaution is to be sure there is a slip cover in place in the event they forget they have a scratching post just for them.

Pets are fun companions, but as we have discussed above they can be messy. As such, taking a few additional precautions will be quite wise. One of them should be investing in a wing chair slip cover.
